Man rapes his Facebook friend in Kolkata, threatens to make her nude pics viral

Kolkata: A married woman was continuously blackmailed and allegedly raped by her Facebook friend from Bengal's Nadia district, who worked in Gujarat. After the woman lodged a complaint, the man was arrested by Ultodanga Police and produced in a local court in Sealdah.

The accused, who was her Facebook friend, allegedly threatened to make her nude pictures go viral, if she did not comply with his demands.

One of YouTube’s oldest popular chefs Karre Mastanamma passed away at the age of 107 years in her hometown Gudiwada in Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district on Tuesday. Mastanamma took YouTube by a storm with her simple and rustic cooking.

According to the police, both became friends through social media early this year and when their friendship became intimate, the woman had even sent him her nude pictures.

Sonu Rai, the accused, was a resident of West Bengal’s Nadia district but worked in Gujarat. However, Sonu had come to Kolkata and took a room in a hotel in Park Circus area in South Kolkata to meet his Facebook friend, the woman, in October.

The police further said the woman had shared her nude pictures with Sonu before they met. But when she met him in a Kolkata hotel, the man started blackmailing her. He has even allegedly raped her in the hotel and threatened to make her nude picture viral in social media if she refused to comply with his demands.

The accused has also apparently extracted money from the woman and continued to rape her regularly. Unable to bear any further, the woman filed a complaint with Ultodanga police, which resulted in Sonu’s arrest today.
Sonu has been remanded to police custody by Sealdah court in Kolkata till December 14 for interrogation.
